Self Work Values

Daily Duties at Self:

As an independent contractor, I provided programming, development, and direct support . I also provided educational and training services for all types of Pick-like systems, most recently for Volvo Aero Services in Boca Raton, Florida. I maintained web sites for various customers; installed, configured and maintained RedHat Linux servers as well as NT/IIS and Apache web servers. I also offered networking technical assistance for companies that didn't have a full-time network personnel. I am assisted the University of Connecticut Co-Op Bookstore in moving their NT and Linux servers and workstations to a new internal network behind a firewall appliance as well as was the main point of contact for Linux administration. In my own business, I had a web hosting and Internet Service Provider company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I built the servers, installed the OS's (NT and Linux), configured all services, designed and implemented a multi-segment LAN and WAN, and set up VPN's between my office, my home, and my business partner's office outside Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I did all hardware maintenance, network configurations, and administered all aspects of the Linux and NT server systems. I used Apache and IIS as web servers, write scripts in Visual Basic, Perl, and PHP to provide dynamic web pages. I also used UniVerse to compile and publish all statistics for the domains we hosted and to automate a great deal of day-to-day administration.

What they like about Self:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
